26、 School days are supposed to be the best days of your life and part of that experience usually involves some unforgettable physical activities. I asked some people to give me their memories of what happened to them on the sports field and beyond, and this is what they told me.
Cup winners
When I was about ten, the football team from our year unexplainably made it to the cup final of the local schools’ league. I say unexplainably because I only remember us losing nearly every match we played. Anyway, in the final I set up the winning goal, a brilliant cross to my mate David who headed the ball in just before the final whistle. I still have a photograph of the team holding the cup.
Forest hike
I remember having to lead a group of eight boys on a school expedition for the best part of two days when I was a teenager. Even though we got lost at one point, I managed to keep them all together and get them from one end of a large forest to the other and back by sheer(纯粹的) force of will. I was chosen to be the leader, I think, because I was the only one who knew how to read a map!
When we arrived back at the campsite, we found out that all the other groups had cheated and hitched(搭便车) most of the way instead… I felt a bit stupid, but also rather proud of myself at the same time for having done it properly.
Learning to swim, learning to drown
I learned to swim comparatively late, I suppose. I was maybe nine years old but my brother had a painful experience which nearly put him off for life. We lived in the USA for a while and had access to a university pool where the coaches had trained the American Olympic team. In those days, though, their idea of teaching kids how to swim was to tie a can to their ankles with a bit of string, throw them in the deep end and shout “Swim!”. I am surprised my brother survived at all. He could only have been about six at the time.

27、 When the world was new,all the people of the world spoke one tongue. There was no hunger and people were never sick. The heat of the day brought no insects and no wild dogs came in the dark night.【1】.
In the land of the two great rivers there were many gods but Enki was among the greatest. 【2】 . He was wise and powerful.
The king of the city of Uruk was building a great temple to Enki,higher and more beautiful than any temple ever built. 【3】,but it was not complete. The king came to see the building and he wasn't satisfied. "This temple must be the most beautiful in the world,"he cried. “I must have more gold and diamonds. ”
【4】,so the king of Uruk sent a message to demand they be sent to him. The king of Aratta refused angrily,saying,"You will never have the treasure of my people. You must send your armies and we will make war. "
Enki saw that thousands of people would die, so he spoke his nam-shub, words of magic in the original language of the world. The minds of people became confused. 【5】 . The kings of Aratta and Uruk, the soldiers and all the people found that they could not understand each other. Thus they travelled across the world to build new cities for themselves. The kings of Aratta and Uruk couldn't start a war any longer.

28、Tens of thousands of lives would be saved every year in the United States if common air pollution from burning fossil fuels (矿物燃料) is got rid of, according to a new study. The research stresses the huge health benefits of moving away from coal, oil and gasoline.
Using data from the Environmental Protection Agency, researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison estimate (估计) that about 50,000 premature (过早的) deaths would be avoided every year if microscopic air pollutants called particulates were got rid of in the U.S..
Premature death and hospitalization are also extremely expensive for the U.S. economy. The study estimates that getting rid of such air pollution would save about $600 billion each year.
Burning fossil fuels are a main source of fine particulate pollution in the U.S.. The new study is the latest reminder that climate change and public health are closely related, and that cutting greenhouse gas emissions doesn’t just reduce long-term risk from global warming; it can save lives immediately by cutting pollution.
Fine particulates, also known as PM 2.5 by scientists and regulators, are pollutants generated by the burning of fossil fuels, wildfires, and some industrial processes. They are about 1/30th the width of human hair, which means they can go deep inside the lungs.
Worldwide, millions of people are estimated to die prematurely every year because of outdoor air pollution, the World Health Organization estimates. More than 1 million global deaths from fine particulate air pollution could be avoided in just one year if fossil fuel burning were got rid of, according to a separate study published last year.
Air quality in much of the U.S. is better than the global average. But the remaining pollution is still deadly, especially to those living in hotspots next to factories, power plants and highways.
“Even with the Clean Air Act in the United States, we still have more than 100,000 Americans who die prematurely from air pollution each year,” says Patz, who has studied the connections between climate change and human health for many years. “It’s a striking health threat.”
【1】What makes people die young according to the new study?
A.Growing economy.
B.Huge benefits.
C.Air pollution.
D.Climate change.
【2】How could people prevent themselves from premature deaths?
A.Stop burning fossil fuels.
B.Cut down the cost of economy.
C.Avoid living in the busy place.
D.Reduce risk from global warming.
【3】What does Patz want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A.People mainly die from air pollution.
B.Air pollution endangers people’s lives.
C.The Act works well in the United States.
D.People’s health relies on climate change.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Air Quality Depends on People’s Efforts
B.Burning Fossil Fuels Does Harm to People
C.Public Health Is Connected to Climate Change
D.Getting Rid of Air Pollution Would Save Lives
